In fact, they'll almost certainly not be bigger since everything that WotC has published so far has been based on 1" squares.All the battlemats in the world are based on 1" squares. No way would WotC design something that couldn't be used on such mats.Larger figs means more detail. You can have recognizable lips, eye sockets and eyelids, and eyebrows--instead of just a slit for a mouth, couple dents for eyes, and a ridge with a flash line for a nose. Chainmail can be identified as rings, instead of just a hash pattern or perforated texture. A larger base size for figs means that Small creatures can have actual detail. It means that Large creatures really will be Large. Bigger is better.Except for one thing: backwords compatibility. My old figs are going to look pretty dumb next to the new figs. But, since the new figs will look so much better, I have a feeling my old figs won't be seeing much action.-z</blockquote>
